St. Thomas Aquinas Church, Ham

St. Thomas Aquinas Church is a Roman Catholic church in Ham, London, England. It was founded in 1974, using a school building which had been built in 1890. From the Reformation until 1856, there was nowhere for Catholics to worship in Ham, and, from 1856 to 1870, they held services at a chapel at Beaufort House. From 1952 to 1974, a small plot on Ham Street was acquired for the church, and the congregation moved into the present building in 1974. It holds both English and German-language services.
